is it possible for me to give a movieclip the same position as another movieclip. meaning they will be on top of eachother and when one moves the other moves as well.i know you can do it with the mouse:[code]It would be a great way to cheat the program as im having some problems, but this would fix it. the 2 movieclips though is in a class and the other is on the stage.
View 4 RepliesOkay I have a script in which I have added an image to the stage. It is absolute centered. I then have another with is on top but much bigger. I would like the big image to move opposite of my mouse position on the smaller image. ie: cursor is on bottom left corner the bottom left corner of the larger image is in the same spot. And the same thing for any other area.
I have tried many different ways but to no avail. I have done research but no one has been able to give me a solid answer. Anyone know of a way to accomplish this. Keep in mind this it needs to work regardless of the image size.
I have a movie clip called "myMC". I set its x value as such:
[AS]
var myMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(myMC);
myMC.x = 100;
[Code]....
I know I could proboly acheive this with a math equation but is there a function that can get the exact global position of "myShape"? So that I can position another movieclip or sprite around that movieclip?
I wanna link a movie clip which has instace name test1 to a external urlI am using a menu list which has main movieclip instance name as 'Primary_Menu'. And inside this main movie clip there are 7 menus (home, about us etc..) each menus are movie clip and has instance names.Below code is written for linking them to respective frames. but i need to give external url for last menu (test1)
Home_MC.logo_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,ShowHome);
.Primary_Menu.pmenu_btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,ShowHome);
Home_MC.Primary_Menu.pmenu_btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,ShowLocation);

When i put a movieclip on the stage, every time i do that, i have to click on it, press f9 (to show the movieclip actions pannel) and past a code on it... and i will use this movielcip a lot of times in my project, so, everytime i put it on the stage i have to put the code on it again... is there a way to attribute the same code to my movieclip (automatically) everytime i put my mc on the stage?
View 8 RepliesIs there any way to dynamically give a movieclip an instance name? This little process is gonna be spread out to a couple hundred dots, and while it's not really all that hard to type in the variable by hand (in fact it'd "only" take half an hour or so), but the more done dynamically the better, I think.
What I want to do is have a simple movie clip which checks it's own instance name as a variable, and then gotoAndPlay("thatvariable");. For example, say I have a movie clip with instance name "a1". On the clip I'd like to put
onClipEvent (load) {
this.gotoAndPlay(_root.a1); //but in place of "_root.a1",
I'd like to be able to call the instance name so that I can copy and paste the code to multiple movieclips without manually changing the name.
}
_root.a1 is a variable which contains the name of a frame inside of a1, so when you boil it down, it's just telling itself to gotoAndPlay("framename") in a roundabout way. Is this at all possible?
How to give border for movieclip on run time?
View 1 RepliesQuick question (I hope) I am switching from as2 to as3.
In as2 I could create a movieClip and give it an eventlistener type functionality and function like so:
myDynamiclyCreatedMc.onEnterFrame = function ()
{
// do stuff
}
How do you do the same thing in as3?

View 5 RepliesI'm working on building a 'cover flow' similar to the scroll through iTunes uses for it's album covers. The only difference is my 'cover' needs a background MovieClip that will sit behind it and animate when the images are scrolled to get it a 3D effect. So I have a MovieClip I'm exporting called coverflowItem. This is the movie clip that will sit behind each 'cover' image and have the timeline I want to control from a different .as file. That file is called coverflow.as where all of the elements are assembled and animated.
What I need to do now is find out how to control each instanced coverflowItem so when the arrow buttons are clicked, not only do the covers slide to the appropriate side which they are currently doing now, but also have the associated MovieClip play giving the 3D illusion. I can call the functions from the coverflowItem.as in the coverflow.as but have had no luck actually getting the movie clips to play properly.
//Create CoverflowItem
var cover:CoverflowItem=new CoverflowItem(_data);
This code lets me assess the functions but not actually manipulate the MovieClip. I'm sure my logic if flawed.
Say User uploads a front facing photo. I give co-ordinates. I want to give user facility to move the points to match eyes and lips on their uploaded photo. So I want to get the editable shape. I think we will need to use bezier curves for this. How can I modify my code to line through the bezier control points?
View 1 RepliesSuppose position of MovieClip is
x=400,y=600 height=550,width=100.
My problem was that the When I apply the zoomIn effect of image,It is not actually inside the MovieClip.Image is coming out from the MovieClip during the zoomIn effect.
I want to apply a zoomIn effect for the image in the MovieClip only.
I added a Menu_mc on my stage. Initially, this should be at the center of the stage and when I click on it, it will tween on the upper left corner of the browser. However, when I resize the browser, the Menu_mc goes back to the center of the screen.
I have tried separating a different actionscript file where it is specifically for initialization of the object and another one for resizing. And then when I call it on my main AS file it goes like this:
Code:
// Add the symbols to stage
var Menu_mc = new Menu_MC();
addChild(Menu_mc);

But it seems futile.
I want to know is that a way to get position of MovieClip A in MovieClip B.Let say in MovieClip B (MovB), I have an MovieClip A (MovA) moving around, and I would like another MovieClip C (MovC) to follow the MovA moving around inside MovB.
I tried below,
MovC._x = MovA_Instance._x;
MovC._y = MovA_Instance._y;
It get the position, but not the correct 1.
I'm hoping someone can solve this headache. Basically, I want a movieclip to move to the position of each of my buttons from any position along my x axis. Therefore, the movieclip needs to 'flip' to face the way it is traveling.At the moment I have the movieclip moving to the mouse x axis when I ROLLOVER the button and stop following the mouse when I ROLLOUT but the code won't flip the movieclip so I must have something wrong...
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,followCa t);
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,stopCat);
btn02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,follow Cat);
btn02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,stopCat );

setting a position of movieclip called red x and y position within a movieclip called background

setting a position of movieclip called red x and y position withen a movieclip called background

This works fine but how can that be when surely you must access the red withen the background rather then just accessing red?
lets say i have a sprite on the stage and one movieclip inside it. now i want to tween or just set that movieclip x and/or y position according to stage position. so for example i want to set mc.y = - 100; (by which i mean -100 to stage, not sprite which mc is in.)
View 2 RepliesWhat i'd like to do is have a menu/site map that adjusts when you click on a certain icon. For example, I have a AS3.0 flash file with, say, 5 keyframes with 5 buttons that are in different positions on each key frame. The buttons are set to gotoAndPlay the various keyframes. I can set up a tween that links frame 1 to 2, 2 to 3 etc. but what I would like is a tween from, say, 1 to 3, then 3 to 5, then 5 to 1 - basically in a random order rather than sequentially through the key frames. I could set each of these tweens up individually but the site is for a portfolio that I would like to keep adding to and to do this individually would mean an ever increasing amount of tweens.Basically, is there a way to get a 'MovieClip' to move from Position A in keyframe 1 to Position B in another keyframe without a set of tween frames? I'm sure this is simpler than I am making it sound but I don't seem to be able to work it out.

i need a movieclip (let's name it "MC1") to be exactly at the same position as another moviecilp("MC2") which is moved with the arrow keys.MC1 has to be always at the same position as MC2, even when it's moved with the keys. How can i do this? I already have the code for moving MC2, but i can't get MC1 to be in its position. Where do i have to put the code in the frame, in MC1, MC2? and ... WHAT CODE?
View 1 Repliesi have a movieclip (a square - 50x50). I need this square placed on multiple _x and _y values.Ex:I need my square to be displayed at _x = 50, _y= 100, also at _x = 250, _y= 100, at _x = 150, _y= 150 and so on. _x and _y should be a fixed value, not a random one. It would be also great if I could take x and y values from an xml.
View 10 RepliesI've made an image slider in flash and need it to slide out at it's current position before changing scenes.
The code i'm using is -
onClipEvent(load) {
_root.newXpos = 0000
speed = 10
[code]...
I need the '_root.newXpos = 0000' to tell the movieclip to stay in the X position it is currently in (it will be different each time as the user can move the movieclip via buttons, so a simple Xpos = 0000 won't do)Alternatively, I've tried adding -
on (press) { _root.newYpos = 476.2;
if (_root.Ypos =476.2);
gotoAndPlay ("Pxcotos", 1);
}

I have 4 movieclip in the stage. Its instance names are mc_1, mc_2, mc_3, mc_4.
To change the x position of this movieclip I can use the below AS 2.0 code. It is working fine.

eval("mc_"+i)._x += 10
}
I like to know how to write this statement in AS 3.0.
